Sure, but we can compare countries where there was more protection of their own industrial base with countries where there was less. Surely we can get some conclusions there.
The path that is normally recommended to the "developing countries" doesn't match the path that the industrial powers followed. If you wanted that Bangladesh developed an industrial base you would do well in advise them to develop and industrial base and some internal market. That takes time and takes some kind of protection.

Yeah, well, would you rather we recommend Bangladesh adopt a US-like "path forward" including 150 years of chattel slavery, a bloody civil war that more than decimated the population, and nuking a rival world power at the end of a 4-year global conflict?
